About the Video
The video above showcases how to both assemble the Shuttlepod as well as program a 3-axis move. We will also be doing an in the field tutorial on how to shoot a 3-axis Astro time-lapse over the coming weeks to help supplement this video as well.
How to Assemble and Motorize the Shuttlepod – Quick Start
About the Video
This video shows how to both assemble and motorize the Shuttlepod system.
Shuttle Pod Reference Guide
The Kessler Shuttlepod is a unique camera dolly system that can utilize your existing standard Kessler Crane (11.5” width) as the rail / track system for the dolly. You can also use our proprietary expandable rail system if you do not have a Kessler Crane. The Shuttle PodTM has multiple optional camera mounting options available, using the Cheese Plate and 100mm Bowl Mount inserts. The Shuttle PodTM is completely smooth and silent and can even be removed and used as a table top dolly, by rolling on a smooth surface.

About the Film
In this short, I wanted to integrate a 3-axis move into a story using both the Shuttlepod and Revolution Head. For this story, James sets out in search of inspiration. As the short progresses, he is drawn towards a dark cave — which holds the key to his creativity.
Creativity comes in many forms and is not always easy to find. With this short, I wanted to show that if you look hard enough, ideas will inevitably come to you. The hard part is finding a way to express these ideas. For James, this is shown figuratively through the typing.

at about 2:00 into this between 2:00-2:15 you talk about assigning 3 moves – 1 from point A to B, 2 from point B to A and 3 from a forty-five degree angle (?) A 45 degree angle? What do you mean by that?
When using the slider in the same configuration when shooting timelapses, I will pre-program moves into the oracle if I plan on using the same setup. If you use the same amount of weight on the cart, you can pre-program moves into your oracle and have it ready to go for shooting. If you are curious how to do this, email me at preston at kesslercrane dot com. Thanks!
